Martinsville, VA -- A Martinsville school project is creating a lot of controversy. Students at the Piedmont Governor's School presented a class project to city council on Tuesday. At that meeting, one member of council was offended by a student's work.
Each of the high school juniors in the class made a square of the quilt to represent a research project in hopes it would be displayed in the municipal building.
One of the squares represented their visit to a hydroelectric plant. As it was explained in a statement to ABC 13 and at the council meeting, the dark figure on the left was intended to represent the darkness about the value of the facility before their visit. Then, the gold figure on the other side was their knowledge afterward. When the quilt was presented to city council, Councilwoman Sharon Hodge took that square a different way.
